Answer:
"a" must be negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.
The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.
Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of <em>a</em> must satisfy a < 0.
% change= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100
original #= 98
new #= 62
% change= (62-98)/98 x 100
= -36/98 x 100
= -0.36734 x 100
= -36.73%
Rounded to nearest 10th of %= -36.7%
CHECK:
= 98 - (98 * 36.73%)
= 98 - (98 * 0.3673)
= 98 - 36
= 62 new #
ANSWER:
Her percent error was 36.7% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent). The negative indicates a decrease.
Hope this helps! :)
if you in you computer you can use math/way
Set it up together and that's all you got to do
